In 2001; Jace Clayton was an amateur DJ who recorded a three-turntable; sixty-minute mix called Gold Teeth Thiefand put it online to share with his friends. Within months; the mix became an international calling card; whisking Clayton away to a sprawling; multitiered nightclub in Zagreb; a tiny gallery in Osaka; a former brothel in Satilde;o Paolo; and the atrium of MoMA. And just as the music world made its fitful; uncertain transition from analog to digital; Clayton found himself on the front lines of an education in the creative upheavals of art production in the twenty-first-century globalized world.Uproot is a guided tour of this newly opened cultural space; mapped with both his own experiences and his relationships with other industry game-changers such as M.I.A. and Pirate Bay. With humor; insight; and expertise; Clayton illuminates the connections between a Congolese hotel band and the indie rock scene; Mexican surfers and Israeli techno; Japanese record collectors and hidden rain-forest treasure; and offers an unparalleled understanding of music in a digital age. Uproot takes readers behind the turntable decks to tell a story that only a DJ--and writer--of this caliber can tell.

0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Mortalizes the ImmortalBy Thor VaderAfter having been tortured by actors discussing his approach to acting. I finally decided I wanted to learn about the man. Wow!This book is extremely interesting to read as it is a series of letters and essays from Stanislavski to his contemporaries. It was unbelievably humorous to listen to his discussion of Chekhov and imagine trying to conduct rehearsals with him sitting there watching.This book is broken into 5 major sections with different themes of Stanislavskis life explored in each one. Thespians will find his words inspiring. historians will find his words enlightening. and a normal person will find themselves better informed of the world of theater and what goes into preparing.I highly recommend this book.
